Dr. Cowin’s ‘Language Learning in 2050: A Technological and Cultural Forecast’- a Podcast with NotebookLM

Welcome to my newest exploration: From Research to AI: Language Learning in 2050: A Technological and Cultural Forecast, a podcast where I explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping academic work—not just in the classroom, but in the way we disseminate knowledge itself.

As researchers, we write, analyze, and synthesize ideas, but what happens when we use AI tools to take our work beyond the written word? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my latest research on the future of language education – examining how AI, multimodal learning, and cross-cultural adaptability might redefine teaching by 2050.

But here’s the twist: this podcast wasn’t scripted in the traditional way. Instead, I uploaded my work into NotebookLM, an AI-powered tool designed to transform written work into interactive and engaging formats. From text to voice, from static research to dynamic dialogue—this episode is an experiment in what AI can do for academic communication.

Join me as tow AI generated personas not only discuss the future of language education but also reflect on how AI is changing the way we share and interact with research itself. What does this mean for acadmics, educators, students, and the future of knowledge dissemination?
